Catch up

Hmm... this should be quick - I don't have a lot of time, but with everything I needed to add, I doubt I'll manage short and sweet.  This weekend has been great - and really busy.  Mom and Dad flew in on Friday afternoon, and came up to my house for the evening.  Mom and I were able to work on a few UFO's in my sewing room (by the way - those are known as "Un-Finished Objects" -and my sewing room is full of them).  Dad and Stu didn't get to work on much - Dad had to bring work with him, but I guess the sooner he has this project done, the sooner he will retire, and we'll be able to do the stuff we want to.

Saturday we had the opportunity to ordain Stuart to the office of a Teacher.  That is always a special time for a mom - even though it means her baby is growing up.  And in one way - I mean literally UP.  I swear, he grows faster and faster everyday.  He is now over 5'10" and there is no sign of slowing.  I did have a thought saturday night, and that is I am glad to see that he has such a strong circle of men to look up to and learn from.  It was one of those mom moments...

We celebrated his 14th birthday a week ago.  Here are a few pics from that night.  I wish he wouldn't be such a goofball in all of them.  I can't get a decent picture anymore.

Sunday we were at Matt and Crenda's to bless Tanner, who is one darling little boy.  He may actually be growing faster than Stuart.  He's 6 weeks old, and wearing 6 month clothes.  Tall and built like a TANK!

anyway - here are a few pics from the holidays.  I'll put more up soon.
